Independent Thinking - Michael Culyba, director of the "Keeper of Time" film. Talking about time, watchmaking and the meaning of life.
Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio.
This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology.
In this episode, we are very honoured to speak with Michael Culyba , director of the excellent film "Keeper of Time".
Adam (@mediumwatch) and Michael sit down for a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion about the major themes of the movie, the meaning of time itself and the many aspects of independent horological craft that Michael managed to capture so brilliantly in the film.
We at FifthWrist have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to speak with some of the watch industry folks who appear in the movie, so now would be a good time to listen through our back catalog and re-acquaint yourself with the previous episodes.
Definitely make sure you watch the "Keeper of Time" (www.keeperoftimemovie.com) today. Honestly, we cannot recommend it highly enough. Absolutely brilliant, heart-warming and important film about horology and time.
